PEOPLE are being encouraged to sign up to a community fit club to help lose weight and keep in shape.

The scheme offers a weekly weigh-in session to keep people motivated, advice and support on weight loss, two free weekly activity sessions and a lifestyle skills workshop.

Community Fit Club is backed by NHS Redbridge, Redbridge Council, Vision and Pro-Active.

A weekly session is held every Saturday from 10 to 11am at Redbridge Cycling Centre, Forest Road, Hainault. Call 8708 0955 for details.

An interactive website at communityfitclub.co.uk also provides lots of tips including a calculator to measure your Body, Mass Index, ideal height to weight ratio and calorie intake.

NHS Redbridge is part of Redbridge Strategic Partnership.
